## Description

Break the world. Guess what happens.<br><br>A setup, some drawings, and then it happens. Drop a book and a flat sheet of paper — which lands first? Blow between two hanging apples — do they swing apart, or together? Tap what you think, watch it happen, and then find out why.<br><br>Every answer is real science, and most of them are things you can go and try at home with a straw, a balloon or a glass of water.<br><br>YOU ANSWER BY LOOKING<br>Nearly every question is a picture. There is almost nothing to read, so a child who cannot read yet can still play — and the ones who can are not slowed down by paragraphs.<br><br>NINE WAYS TO PLAY<br>Guess what happens. Set a dial and watch the picture move. Spot the thing that cannot happen. Put three moments in order. Two dials that fight each other. Tap at exactly the right instant.<br><br>WHAT IS IN IT<br>326 questions across 6 topics and 82 levels, plus an endless mode that never runs out.<br><br>NOTHING TO BUY. NO ACCOUNT. ONE VIDEO YOU CHOOSE.<br>Nothing to sign up for. Progress is saved on your device. There is one advert in the game and it is never played at you: run out of coins and you can choose to watch a short video for more. A child who never taps it never sees one, and it is never shown on opening the app, between levels, or while a question is on screen. Leaderboards and achievements are optional — turn them on and your scores go to the platform&#39;s own game service; leave them off and the game plays exactly the same.<br><br>IT WORKS WITHOUT A SIGNAL<br>The questions and the narration are all inside the app, so it plays on a plane, in a car, and anywhere with no connection.<br><br>From Doodle Theory, the channel that makes 60-second what-if explainers.
